Moonhowlings.net is a moderate blog site. You will find that we have a few liberal leanings, a few conservative leanings, but mostly we are centrist. We have made that clear from the beginning, back when we were on Antibvbl, and nothing has changed here. Our objective is to post engaging topics about current events that people want to discuss in a civil manner.
Unfortunately, for the past week or so we have felt that discussion simply was not productive. Some people felt it was appropriate to come to our blog and insult us, deride us, and attempt to bully not only us but some of our contributors. That simply is not going to happen.
If an article is posted that you don’t like. Don’t read it. We can’t please everyone nor will we try to please everyone.
If you think we are too stupid, too conservative, too liberal, too middle of the road, too old, too female, too biased then it is probably best to find another blog. We are also not going to change. We welcome people who come here to discuss ideas both in the framework of our posts or on our weekly open thread. Please debate ideas and don’t engage in ad hominem attacks.
Occasionally we will have politicians that we find unacceptable. We will make no bones about it. That is part of political debate. We feel certain that you have political preferences also. Please try to not make libelous statements.
When someone’s politics cause disruption on the blog, we will have to ask the person to find another blog. It is in the best interest of the blog and its users. Any questions, email us. If you don’t hear back from us, mention it on the blog. We have had a problem with email.
Hopefully we can move forward with spirited debate and discussion in a way that is respectful to everyone here.
Fondly,
Moon & Elena
